" VIENNA, JAN. 14,—The Military Contingent of the Germanic Cont:den:lion dining Peace to be 120,000 men, viz. 96,000 ititantry, 18,000 6,000 &c. 'caq 'of %rot tt:e cavalry will-be doubled, and the artillery tripled ; die Generalissimo to have the title of Piehi-lar shal of the Germanic Confcrieration. ' " PETERstunc..ti, Dp.c. 27.-13 y an Imperial Ukase, published at Moscow, the Ministry of Public Ins+ruction is to be uni:ed to that for the affairs of all religious confessions, with the title of Ministry for Ecclesiastical Affairs and Public Instruction." We received this ►►►orning Jamaica Pavers to :he 14th ult. (From the Royal Gareth', Dec. 13.) Extract of the Report plesented on Wednesday to the , douse by the Committre appointed to in quire into the State of the Colony. " The slaves are satisfied that their condi- 'ion is of sufficient interest to engage the atten tion of those under whose authority they are placed, and that their comforts and personal security are the objects of protection : in availing themselves of the facility which has been afforded them in making their complaifits of any real or supposed grievance. they ha 4 observed the attention with which it has been investigated, and the justice with which it has been decided. The increase which has taken place, during; the last twelve months, in the number of proceedingi, both civil and criminal, which has been instituted by or on bthalf of sla►•es, is a fact which, accompanied as it has been by the greatest degree of subordi nation and good order on their part, may be re ferred to as the most decisive proof of their well founded confidence in the fistice of those to whom they appe►l : this feeling, whilst it ope rates directly on their present condition, by les sen►ing the possibility of their being exposed to injury, without receiving redress, and by render ing them contented with their situation, is cal culated to impart to them those principles which will enable therm to estimate the benefiis, to acquire the habits, and to practice the dillies which belong to a more civilized state of so ciety. " Your Committee attach great importance to this consideration, because it encourages the be lief that a foundation is laid for future measures of progressive improvement ; but they are of opinion, that the illprovement of their reli gious, moral, and civil state can only be effected by gradual and progressive measures, and that any experiments that have a tendency to pro duce a sudden change in their present state, by tie introduction of principles which are unknown ro, and inconaistent With, the policy of Colonial Institutions, and the habits of the slaves them selves, would be fatal to them and dangerous to the security of the island ; a due execution of those laws which have already been passed—a constant attention to the operation and effect of those laws—the adoption froth time to time of those measures, and the application of those principles to their present condition, w hich such attention may suggest, can alone secure the ac complishn;ent of this important object.—The Committee therefore are of opinion that no alter ation at present appears necessary in the Consoli dated Slave Law, which was passed during the last Session, but that further time should be al lowed for the developement of those effects which it is calculated to produce." The opening of Parliament is always an inte resting period, but we believe that it never opened under more favourable auspices than yesterday.— The topics introduced in the Speech from the Throne, of which we yesterday gave, as our Readers will perceive, a correct outline, are all of an encouraging nature, except what relates to the continued indisposition of our revered Monarch, a;id the national calamity in the loss of our be loved Princess.' The announeed intention of Go vernmeut of repeal;ng Toe FlnnEvs CORPUS Sus - PgNSION ACT, that great Bugbear ofParty, but which gave no uneasiness or alarm to loyal and good men, emphatically shews that Ministers only adopt an extraordinary power when extraordinary circun►- stances demand it, but that when the cause ceases they arc prompt in removing the effect. It might he thought that even the discontented brood of Faction would have received this communication with pleastire ; hot no—nothing will satisfy them hut their own elevation to power. The querulous Chronicle, which even wants common pliicy and taste in its opposition to Government, hints, this day, that this intended repeal of an Act essential to the security of public peace, and perhaps the salvation of the Empire, considering the arts and the violence of Sedition, and the encouragement which it receives every day from the Party Prints, — The Chronicle, we say, hints that this intended repeal " is merely a surrender for a time of that .chirp they flatter themselves, from the precedes, which they have establish e?", they may resume ith little difficulty in all cases of emb arrassment. i'lle Habeas Corpus Act having been once sus [r.ent.ta in prof(';no periC, may b . & stis'pctirlel again." There k very little profound wisdom in this profound speculation of The Chronicle, which is strongly characteristic of that surly spleen which quarrtli with the very things that it affected to want, When it meets with the un expected nrrival Of them. To prevent Ministers troth again resorting to the same measure, let The Chronicle cease to sow dirfsions and spread discontent, otherwise we trust that in ail cases that may iequire that measure again, Mini sters w ill ton he deterred from doing their ditty to the Country by the peevish taunts and venomous Predictions of ratty. As to the conduct of the Opposition within doors, we have only to regret that Sir S. RomiLLY, a man of learning, know ledge, and a- conspicuous member of an honour able profession, shonld have so little political expe rience, and so total alvant of temper. From Lord FOLKESTONB might naturally be expected all th . at he tittered last night, but as he has still a political reputation to acquire, we would only presume to suggest to him, that some appearance of candour is, at least, requisite to induce the People at large to think that he may really feel something of public spirit, and is not merely in cited by a love of talking and an ambition fur. notoriety. It is with no slight degree of pride that we draw the attention of our Readers to the Speech of Earl STANHOPE, in the House of Lords yester day. It will be seen that his Lordship's senti ments: to an iota, corresponded with what we have often urged respecting Fiance and the Allied Army. Every opinion which his Lordship laid down, with such force of argument, extent of ob servation, acuteness of discernment, and soli dity of judgment, as induce us to congratu late Government on the accession of so very promising a Statesman, exactly tallies with what we hare endeavoured strongly to impress on the public mind. The removal of the Allied Troops from France would he the signal of a new Revolution, which would assuredly involve this Country and all Europe in a renewal of hostilities that might continue its ravages for years' to come, and lead, to all the horrors of universal anarchy. But we refer to his Lordship's Speech, as the result of a mind that has deeply considered the subject which be treated, in all its bearings, and which is well entitled to the proform:l attention of every man who feels for the security of States, and the hap piness of the People.- WINDSOR, JAN. morning her MA JESTY, accompanied by the Duchess of GLOUCES TER and Princess EfAzAriuTH, attended by a Lady in Wailing, rode out in a coach and tour, by-Sun ning Hill. The Princess AUGUSTA, as usual, took her airing on horseback, in the Great Park. We understand, on the first Commercial Au thorities, that a considerable advance in the price of Wood in Prussia has recently taken place, from the expectation formed there that an olltera don in oust Duties will be made greatly in their favour. It is with much concern we hear Sir IVALTER FARQUHAR, Bart. is seriously indisposed. The Archduchess of PARMA, wife to NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE, is expected to visit this country in the course of next summer.—(Morning Post.) The Duke of WELLINGTON, Colonel and Mrs. lI,►RVEY, and a select party, dined yesterday with Mr. and Mrs. PATTEESON, at Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square. His Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND has given 201. to the Parish of St. Mary-le-Strand, for the benefit of the Poor thereof hot receivng parochial Yesterday being the - day appointed for the commencennnt of the Session of Parlioment, the whole of the premises belonging to the Lords and Commons were strictly examined,as has been customary since the days of Guy Faux. C HORAL FUND.—Monday evening, the excel lent musical society, called the Choral Fund, tin- der the patronage Of the PRINC2 REGENT,- several of the Royal Dukes, and a number of disti4!guisli ed characters, had their Annu.;l Benefit Concert at the English Opera House, in the Strand, which was crowded in every part. In the pit and gal leries there was no standing room. CLERKSHIP of TUE PLEAS IN IRELAND,—The question upon this important case, on which the right of the Crown► to abolish the office depends, Was still before th 6 Court of Errors, in Dublin, on Friday. On Wednesday, three Judges, FLETCHER, MAYNE, and M'CLELLAN, delivered their Opi nions in favour of the right of the Crown. On Thursday and Friday Mr. Baron SMITH Tleiivered his opinion, which ►wags in ;avow- of the right of the Chief Baron to appoint to the office. Mr. Justice DALY gave his opinion on the contrary side. Mr. Baron GEoaoe was to deliver his on SatUrday.
